Nothing much has changed for me, apart from everything, that is
To narrow it down a bit, the way I feel inside has changed completely. That feeling of uselessness is long gone. I am quite interested in my fellows and I find I have a willingness to try and see things from another's point of view. I am also able to be responsible, whether that means meeting commitments, taking responsibility for my mistakes, or standing up to be counted if the need arises.
I still hate exercise for the sake of exercise. I try to keep active doing something interesting and get my exercise that way. I have regained the ability to think and reason, though never as well as the university educated friends I meet. A trained mind is such an advantage.
And I suppose such a summary would be incomplete if I did not mention my personality type has changed, over a very long period, from introvert to mildly extrovert. That was a surprise, but possibly has something to do with my interest in others.
